Yes, most Master’s programs in the UK are 1 year in duration, which is one of the biggest advantages of studying there. After completing an eligible Master’s degree, international students currently receive a 2-year Graduate Route post-study work visa. However, for new applicants from 01 January 2027 onward, this is expected to reduce to 18 months.
